What you'll be able to do

✓Sort any shop task into Safe / Check / Never by what happens if the automation is wrong
✓Recognize the one liability trap owners consistently miss — a chatbot answering a health question
✓Tell the difference between two versions of the same task that land in different buckets, based on what's actually at stake
✓Read a small-business AI vendor's pitch against this framework instead of the vendor's own pitch
✓Produce a real sort of your own shop's tasks, not a hypothetical one

Decide what to automate in your own shop before a vendor cold call decides it for you.

⌁ The moment right after "you should really automate X" — from a salesperson, a customer, or your own instinct.
